Larryboy: The Cartoon Adventures (also known as Larryboy) is an American direct-to-video animated children’s series developed by Tom Bancroft (a former animator for Disney) as a spin-off of the VeggieTales franchise created by Big Idea Entertainment. The first video titled "Larryboy and the Angry Eyebrows", was released on March 16, 2002.[1] The videos came to an end with "The Good, The Bad and the Eggly!", released on June 10, 2003, due to Big Idea's bankruptcy. Unlike its predecessor VeggieTales, which was animated in CGI using Softimage 3D and later Autodesk Maya, LarryBoy was animated in 2D animation using Adobe Flash.[2] From September 2006 to November 2009, NBC aired the content of all four videos on its Qubo block alongside airings of VeggieTales videos.[3] LarryBoy also currently streams on Yippee TV, a Christian-based American children’s subscription video on-demand over-the-top streaming service.[4] Each video contains two segments, a twenty-minute long segment and a seven-minute short segment (Larryboy Super Short).
